Yolanda was caught off guard, as she had no idea how much Jared could afford. Hence, she asked, "Jared, Rhino is asking you how much are you willing to compensate him? I would like to remind you if it wasn't for me, Rhino would've crippled you no matter how rich you are.”
Yolanda tried to scare Jared, hoping that he would be willing to fork out more to avoid any physical punishment.
When Rhino heard how Yolanda sang his praises, he couldn't help but break into a smile.
“Is this enough?” Jared raised a finger.
“Do you think ten thousand can satisfy me?” Rhino sneered with a grim expression.
“Jared, what are you thinking? Rhino isn't a beggar. How can you offer only ten thousand?” Yolanda admonished Jared while desperately signaling him with her eyes.
“I didn't say ten thousand.” Jared shook his head.
“Even a hundred thousand is too little,” Rhino retorted.
At that moment, Yolanda fell into a dilemma because a hundred thousand was a huge sum. Considering Jared had just been released from prison, there was no way he would have that kind of money.
“Rhino, just look at him. Ten thousand is probably his limit. As he has just gotten out of jail, he barely has any money at all,” Yolanda pleaded on behalf of Jared.
“Just out from prison?” Rhino was caught by surprise. “No wonder he is so ruthless and has some guts. I don't care whether he has the money or not. A hundred thousand just won't do for hitting me.”
At Rhino's refusal, Yolanda turned to Jared again. “You should increase your offer. If you don't have enough, I can lend you everything I have. But, I have to be clear that you must pay me back. After all, I'm only loaning you the money on Hilda's account.
“I wasn't talking about a hundred thousand either.” Jared shook his head.
Yolanda was stunned to hear his answer. In contrast, Rhino's face lit up in ecstasy. Nevertheless, he hid his emotions and responded coldly, “Are you talking about a million then? If you really can pay a million, I will let this matter slide.
